My name is Jenny Frank and I’m the helpline coordinator for Campus Assault REsponse. I’m in the Delta Gamma fraternity, Epsilon Nu chapter. I am an active member of Tri-Beta the National Biological Honor Society. Then I do most work on campus as a volunteer for different tabling events and prevention/awareness weeks.
HCJMU: I’d love to know more about CARE and how you are involved with that.
JF: As helpline coordinator I’m in charge of volunteers who work on the 24/7 sexual assault and intimate partner helpline. I also file paperwor regarding intial contact forms and contain all resources for those who need them.
HCJMU: When did you start getting involved with CARE?
JF: I joined as a first semester freshman! So a full year now I’ve been involved.
HCJMU: Is sexual assault prevention something you have been passionate about for a while now?
JF: Sexual assault prevention is something I’ve always been passionate about since I began high school. It has affected me personally by my friends and those I know around campus, as well as myself. By tabling, volunteering, or taking the time to talk about it, you can really raise awareness and help others out!
